This may sound silly, but I'd rather ask than not know. Most folks recommend setting gains for subs with ~50Hz, and the highs with ~1KHz tones. This is how I always did it in the past. However, now that I have gone three-way active, I was wondering if there was a better way.
What I ended up doing was setting the gains on each channel with the 1KHz tone being fed from the mid RCA cable (just connected the same cable to each input as needed), and, after setting the gains, connected the proper RCA cables back as well as making sure any amp settings, such as low pass. was correct. It seems to be ok, but should I be using three different tones to set my front stage? One for mid-bass, one for mids, and one for highs?
